Since Liverpool are starting their Europa League campaign tonight, may as well start this thread now.
This will be rodgers first season in Europe, so I expect he'll look to have a solid competition. I reckon AVB will take this competition more seriously than Redknapp and Newcastle will want to do well for sure. Hopefully these three teams will do well and help England's co-efficient points.
Dortmund winning their group is great for German football really. A group that had the Spanish, German,English and Dutch champions in it, and it's the German champions that come out on top. Good advert for the league, which is under-rated imo.
Pray to god that City beat Dortmund and Madrid beat Ajax. If they go out of Europe altogether this early then they won't throw the league away like they tried to last season. Probably not anyway. Ref was something else. Ronaldo was very enaldo but with good reasons after not getting everytime after Kompany was repeatedly just pushing him over. Ironic how City got a very harsh penalty in similar fashion too. City were poor again. Madrid should have finished the game off in the first 20 minutes tbf. Silva was sublime second half and seemed to create everything good that City did. Dzeko's touch and footwork a player at this level is abysmal.
I'd love for Dortmund or Shakhtar to make the final.
They're not even going to get that, and I don't blame them.
If I was Mancini I'd get the all the ball boys & stewards registered for the last game and play them against Dortmund with Platt taking charge. Actually, fuck that. Let Kidd do it.
Great to see Dortmund tearing it up too after last year's epic disaster in the group stage. Compare that group to the one they've cruised this year and it's hard to believe how far they've come this season, especially when you look at the dip in their league form.
Yeah but at least we got past the Group Stage of the Champions League...... (please beat Dortmund and get Thursday Night Football in strange countries)
great CL campaign for the German clubs so far, only one loss and was kind of flukey anyway. All three should win their group (Dortmund already have, Bayern will..Schalke need to win at Montpellier, hopefully they can do that)
Although they may not want it, it would be better for Man City to go to the Europa League to improve their UEFA coefficiant. If they fail to qualify for the EL, they could easily drop to Pot 3 in next season's draw and once again get a tough group
